Role-playing games are funny. They could be fun to play as well. Or, they could be laughable, especially by gamers that haven’t been exposed to such gameplay. Here’s three interesting RPGs in the Google Play Store. A list of features for each game is provided at the end of this article.

DigimonLinks (Google Play)

Graphics: 3/5 Gameplay: 4/5 Replayability: 4/5 Enjoyability: 5/5

Overall Score: 16/20

This game takes place in a world full of fragmented data. The goal is to save the digital world with Digimon links. To do this, you have to train Digimon in the Farm. There are several areas within the Farm including the Lab. After a digimon evolves into a Rookie, they can enter battles. To increase their level, feed them meat. In battles, use Skills to win. On the battle screen, there’s an Attack button and two Skills are assigned. There are several waves of enemies in each round. This RPG is fun to play. Remember to earn digivolution fuel in battles before evolving the digimon. The battles are located in the Explore section.

What’s good about this game? The turn-based battles are easy to play.
What’s wrong with this game? Nothing. It’s perfect.

The Alchemist Code (Google Play)

Graphics: 3/5 Gameplay: 2/5 Replayability: 2/5 Enjoyability: 4/5

Overall Score: 11/20

This RPG is set in a world of alchemy. There’s an intricate story and turn-based gameplay. Some of the role-playing elements are laughable. Press the ‘End’ button to use the next character. It will take time to cycle through all the characters. One element that is noteworthy is the grid-based weapons, which affect every character within a certain area. If you die, use gems to start from the same point.

What’s good about this game? The music and story is good.
What’s wrong with this game? In battles with multiple allies, it’s difficult to identify which character is active. Also, each action has to be approved after it is selected.

To view and use the character’s powers, swipe the label left or right.
